Cape Theatre Review - For its second production of the' season the Cape Theatre opened Wednesday night with the delightful Russian farce “Squaring the Orde”. The cast was as follows: Vaasya, MacGregor Gibb; Abram, Philip Earle; Tonya, Patricia Deering; Ludmilla, Florence McGee; Emelyan, a poet, James Bedell. This version of the play, a combined translation and adaptation from the Russian play that has been a big hit for years in Moscow, Leningrad, and all over Russia, is the one by Valentine Kataev, with revisions by the English critic Ashley Dukes. ►There are four leading roles, with W. James Bedell contributing impressively in -a brief but strong part. The other four actors are principals, and while all gave competent performances, the laurels once again go to Florence McGee and to Philip Earle. Both were outstanding in comedy and in the' development of the plot. Mr. Gibb and Miss Deering showed to more advantage than they did in the preceding week. "Squaring the Circle" will continue through Saturday night with a matinee on Saturday at popular prices. The bill for the coming week is the extremely funny American comedy “Button, Button”. In the leading roles will be Florence McGee, Philip Earle, and Frederica Going. The latter, who is to be character woman of the company, is replacing Maris Ascarra, who had been announced to fill this part at the theatre, but who has been ill. Miss Going is one of the most competent character women now on the stage. In succeeding weeks she will be seen in several prominent roles, one of which is Lady Bracknell in “The Importance of Being Ernest”, and another is the leading part in “The First Mrs. Fraser”.

We’re Helping Uncle Sam!! Effective June 17, all beauty shops have been requested to close all day Wednesday for the duration. That is being asked as a patriotic duty. The closing will effect a saving of many millions of dollars in Power, Electricity and Supplies that can be made available for War Industries. , It, will stabilize our business by the retention of our employees and will do away with “day off” shorthanded shops. Tfie closing is voluntary and is being heeded by all shop owners in the state, through the efforts of the New Jersey Association of Master Hairdressers. Shops will be^open on Wednesdays preceding holidays, however. We, the beauty shops of Cape May and,vicinity, are glad to do our part, proud to help in any way the war effort of our country. We ask that our customers cooperate with us in this war-time measure.

They said America was “soft”— that our easy living would make

us easy licking.

But cocky American fighting men proved them painfully wrong at Wake, Midway, Bataan. And the same factories that produced our peacetime comforts are geared today into the greatest war industry the world has ever seen! Product ion is military power. And electric power is production. America can produce the planes, tanks, ships and guns to win this war because America has five times the electric power it had in the last war—more electric power than all the Axis and conquered

i combined.

For that you can thank the quiet, competent men who manage America’s electric companies. They were ready when war came — and their practical, proved experience will help keep America’s war machine humming on the high road to Victory!
